AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers created a mathematical model to illustrate how Per2 and Per2AS mutually repress each other, influencing circadian oscillation's amplitude and period through negative feedback.
- The new model aligns with experimental data better than previous models and can help analyze other sense-antisense RNA interactions in the future.
Article Abstract
Antisense transcripts are a unique group of non-coding RNAs and play regulatory roles in a variety of biological processes, including circadian rhythms. Per2AS is an antisense transcript to the sense core clock gene Period2 (Per2) in mouse and its expression is rhythmic and antiphasic to Per2. To understand the impact of Per2AS-Per2 interaction, we developed a new mathematical model that mechanistically described the mutually repressive relationship between Per2 and Per2AS. This mutual repression can regulate both amplitude and period of circadian oscillation by affecting a negative feedback regulation of Per2. Simulations from this model also fit with experimental observations that could not be fully explained by our previous model. Our revised model can not only serve as a foundation to build more detailed models to better understand the impact of Per2AS-Per2 interaction in the future, but also be used to analyze other sense-antisense RNA pairs that mutually repress each other.

Modern habits are becoming more and more disruptive to health. As our days are often filled with circadian disruption and stress exposures, we need to understand how our responses to these external stimuli are shaped and how their mediators can be targeted to promote health. A growing body of research demonstrates the role of the gut microbiota in influencing brain function and behavior.

The intricate relationship between circadian rhythms and mood is well-established. Disturbances in circadian rhythms and sleep often precede the development of mood disorders, such as major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar disorder (BD), and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Two primary factors, intrinsic circadian clocks and light, drive the natural fluctuations in mood throughout the day, mirroring the patterns of sleepiness and wakefulness.

Introduction: Access to electric light has exposed living organisms to varying intensities of light throughout the 24 h day. Dim light at night (DLAN) is an inappropriate signal for the biological clock, which is responsible for the circadian organization of physiology. During the gestational period, physiological adaptations occur to ensure a successful pregnancy and optimal fetal development.

Background: Numerous studies have shown a link between circadian rhythms disruptions and a higher risk of obesity. This article aims to conduct an extensive bibliometric analysis to deepen our understanding of the relationship between circadian rhythms and obesity.
Methods: The literature related to the circadian rhythm of obesity, published from the inception of the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) until June 30, 2024, was extracted from the WoSCC databases (SCIE, SSCI, ESCI).
